In a data container, you can edit an existing data record according to your need.

## Before you begin

You have already connected to the MDM server from Talend Studio. A data container exists and is populated with some data records.

## About this task

To edit an existing data record in a data container, do the following:

## Procedure

1. Follow the steps outlined in [Browsing a data container](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0-R2024-04-and-earlier/browsing-data-container "Using Talend Studio, you can easily search and locate data records \"attached\" to the corresponding business entities in the MDM Hub.") to search for the data records of interest.
2. Right-click the data record you want to edit, and then click Edit Record.

4. If needed, select the Fire a change event (update report) and triggers check box so that the modified record will be written into the UpdateReport and eligible Triggers will be executed directly.

   After selecting the Fire a change event (update report) and triggers check box, if required, select the Enable verification by before processes check box to enable the verification of the modified record by the Before Saving processes. For more information about Process types, see [Process types](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0-R2024-04-and-earlier/process-types "When creating a new Process from Talend Studio, you can select one of the proposed Process types: Before Saving/Deleting, Entity/Welcome Action, Smart View, or Other.").

   Information noteNote: The update operation will fail, without any indication, if the Enable verification by before processes check box is selected and the validation of the data record is not successful.
5. Click Save to validate your changes.
